Heart / Land: Poems of Love & Landscape

By Michael Gilkes

What makes ?Heart / Land? both rewarding and challenging are the contrasting landscapes (ranging from the Guyana rainforest through Caribbean islands to the islets of the Bermuda atoll ) and the poems? frank celebration of the diversity of language and life of the Caribbean / South American world. The poems move, in a variety of poetic styles, between the threat of global disaster (?Leaf,? ?Summit?) and the healing nature of landscape and love (?Fall,? ?Saint Lucy,? ?Mother/Nature?). The complex scenarios of life from childhood to adulthood and old age are all sketched within the challenging embrace of their landscapes.
